Configure Modem Port
There are three methods of communication between the Event Monitoring PC and the Galaxy control panel:
PC Modem to Telecom Module, ISDN Module or RS232/modem combination
Direct to RS232 Interface Module
Via a Network card to the Ethernet Module
The Configure
Modem Port menu option allows a Master Manager to enter the required settings for the
apparatus (both modem and RS232 Interface Module) connected to the PC, enabling alarm messages to be
communicated from the control panel.

down menu option. Enter a valid manager code
when prompted. The Communications Setup
window is displayed.

System Parameters
Event Monitoring offers a number of user selectable system parameters, which ensure that the system
operation and performance conforms to the requirements of the user.
Click on the
System Parameters button. The Parameters window is displayed.
Screen Events:
This parameter determines the number of events that can be listed (between 1 and 1000) when the Alarm
Monitor [Events] screen is displayed - the default setting is 500.
If the All event types screen for All Sites is selected (using the Mode icon), then the most recently received
events, up to the number entered in the Screen Events option, are displayed. However, if a specific site is to
be shown, then the number (entered in the Screen Events option) of recorded events for that site are
consolidated and displayed.
Events not shown on the currently displayed screen are viewed using the / or PG Up/PG Dn keys.
